University of Nevada, Reno begins search for Ag college dean

Following a plan put in place in 2010, and citing the continued commitment to the educational and research mission embodied by the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, President Marc Johnson of the University of Nevada, Reno announced he is initiating a national search for a permanent dean of the college.

“It was nearly two years ago that we announced the two-year appointment of an interim dean for CABNR, and the time has come to initiate a national search for this position,” Johnson said in a statement to colleagues. “Filling this leadership role signals a continued commitment to the educational and research mission embodied by this college. Every college must be responsive and appropriately scaled to the workforce and economic impact of the industries served.”
